Job description

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Firmware Engineer to join the Memory Subsystem Team, focusing on embedded firmware development for memory subsystems. The role involves working at the hardware/software boundary on DDR/LPDDR firmware and power management features. Candidates will engage in both pre-silicon validation and post-silicon phases, contributing to cutting-edge hardware/software co-development. This position requires a blend of software expertise and a strong understanding of digital and analog systems.

Requirements

  • BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • 3 years of embedded firmware development experience.
  • Understanding of core embedded building blocks such as CPUs, memory hierarchies, and DMA.
  • Hands-on experience designing and implementing bare-metal control firmware.
  • Proficiency in C/C++ with a solid grasp of data structures and compilers.
  • Strong debugging instincts and problem-solving skills.

Responsibilities

  • Work on hardware/software co-development from architecture through deployment in silicon.
  • Implement C/C++ embedded firmware for memory subsystem initialization and low power states.
  • Develop C models for hardware IP blocks for pre-silicon firmware validation.
  • Support silicon bring-up and lab validation including board bring-up and log triage.
  • Profile and refactor existing embedded firmware to improve code coverage and performance.

Benefits

  • Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
